Rotating shafts 4 are installed at both ends of the mounting ring 6, and the rotating shaft 4 is used to drive the mounting ring 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the rotating bracket 7. The shaft rod passes through the outer side of the rotating bracket 7 and is installed with a traveling gear 5. The traveling gear 5 is used to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The traveling gear 5 is meshed and installed on the upper end of the ring gear 8, and the bottom end of the ring gear 8 is installed on the upper side of the base 1. The setting of the ring gear 8 can drive the traveling gear 5 to rotate when the traveling gear 5 rotates.
[0032] The application of one aspect of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the device is placed at a designated position, and the device is leveled by the leveling mechanism 2 to prevent the base 1 from being tilted and causing the base 1 to shake during rotation. The protective cover 13 is provided to isolate the culture dish from the external environment to prevent the external environment from affecting the culture surface during use. The culture dish is placed in the middle position of the mounting ring 6, and the culture dish is clamped by the clamping mechanism 9. After the clamping is completed, the power mechanism 3 is turned on by the switch, and the power mechanism 3 will drive the rotating bracket 7 to rotate. When the rotating bracket 7 rotates, it will drive the mounting ring 6, that is, the culture dish, to rotate horizontally. When the mounting ring 6 rotates horizontally, the traveling gear 5 at the end of the rotating shaft 4 at both ends of the mounting ring 6 drives the mounting ring 6 to rotate longitudinally through the meshing with the ring gear 8, thereby being able to drive the culture dish to rotate in all directions. A single power mechanism 3 can complete this, which is very convenient and quick.
[0033] In this embodiment, the power mechanism 3 is connected by a motor 303, a driving gear 301 and a driven gear 302.

When the power supply is normal, the backup power supply 11 is in a power supply state. When the power supply is abnormal or cannot be supplied, the motor 303 is powered by the backup power supply 11 to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0035] In this embodiment, a spirit level 10 is provided at the bottom end of the base 1. The spirit level 10 is fixed at the upper end of the base 1 by bolts. When the base 1 is leveled by the leveling mechanism 2, the spirit level 10 can detect whether the base 1 is adjusted to be horizontal, so as to assist the leveling mechanism 2 in leveling the base 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 9 is composed of a screw 902, a screw nut 903, a clamping plate 904 and a handle 901.

The threaded barrel 202 is welded around the bottom end of the base 1, and the threaded rod 203 is rotatably installed inside the threaded barrel 202. When the leveling mechanism 2 is in use, the threaded rod 203 is rotated, and the threaded rod 203 will move up and down through the action of the threaded barrel 202, thereby facilitating the leveling of the base 1.
[0039] In this embodiment, a base plate 204 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the threaded rod 203, and a handle 201 is installed on the upper end of the threaded rod 203. The base plate 204 is provided to increase the contact area between the bottom end of the threaded rod 203 and the placing table, thereby facilitating the increase of the contact area between the bottom end of the threaded rod 203 and the placing table, and avoiding the base 1 from sliding during use.
